Mechanistic aspects of the electrocatalytic oxidative cleavage of 1,2-diols by electrogenerated Pb(IV)
The electrochemical oxidation of Pb(II) to Pb(IV) in acetonitrile solution containing benzoic acid and pyridine is possible at a basal-plane pyrolytic-graphite electrode and associated with a rapid ligand exchange at the metal center. The Pb(IV) species generated under these conditions is shown to r...
